Coal mine in Gliwice Bojków

Architecture

Sometime in the end of November 2024, I went for a night walk. It was quite a dark, foggy, moonless night, but I decided to take a camera with me. I was wandering around the old coal mine area. The buildings are not fully abandoned yet, but currently there is not much going on. Still, I’ve seen security guards walking and driving around every some time.

Even though the conditions weren’t the best, I managed to get a few shots. I didn’t think that I would be able to make much use of them, as I didn’t take a tripod, so I had to shoot at a very high ISO. Anyways, after some processing, I was able to get a few interesting images. I think that they convey the atmosphere of this deteriorating, mostly abandoned industrial place.

When I went for a walk just after a New Year of 2025, I was lucky enough to find this beautiful view. The colors on the sky were stunning, especially that it was really cloudy and gray for a couple of days. Looking on the green fields it’s hardly to say that it was shot on January. On the horizon you can see the town of Knurów, which is near Gliwice, and of course there’s a silhouette of beautiful mountains.
